Reading Rocket Bookmobiles

.

UPDATE: Wins Award

.

My logo for the Reading Rocket bookmobile was one of ten winners in the HOW 2010 Logo Design Awards. The bookmobile is operated by the Denver Public Library, bringing books and a renewed excitement about reading to under-served schools.

.

If you live in Denver keep an eye out for  two new outer-space theme Reading Rocket bookmobiles. The fun and colorful bookmobiles were created through generous funding by Janus Mutual Funds for the Denver public library system to encourage reading and literacy in children. The first over-sized van hit the road a few weeks ago and will be followed by a second in April with a different funky space-age design. The trucks will deliver books to children at different locations throughout the city including a number of area public schools.

    It’s so cool. Every city and town should have at least one. The kids will go crazy for it.
